What to Do When Dried Millet Gets Bugs? Practical Control Methods Shared

Paddy stored for a long time without sun-drying easily breeds moths, and this is what people find most distressing, as they cannot think of a good way to deal with these uninvited guests. So what should be done when dried millet gets bugs?

1. What to do when dried millet gets bugs

1. Sun it often. Move the grain out under the sun, spread it out and expose it to strong sunlight. This drives away the moths and also dries out the moisture in the old grain (so it will not become damp again). This is the most effective and most practical method.

2. When the grain is sun-dried for the first time and returned to the bin, sprinkle a powder specifically for killing moths at the bottom of the bin and on top of the grain (remember to keep the medicinal powder separated from the grain by a layer, and do not mix it together).

2. Uses of millet

At present, grain and oil processing enterprises in economically developed countries around the world have already achieved industrialization in the deep processing and utilization of grain. In addition to processing the main product, grain can also have its main product and by-products such as broken rice, rice bran, rice germ, rice hulls and wheat bran further processed into new products, making full use of everything. For example, broken rice can be used to make multifunctional starch and starch-based fat substitutes; rice bran can be used to extract rice bran oil, rice bran nutrients, rice bran nutritional fiber and functional polypeptides; rice hulls can be used to prepare white carbon black and activated carbon and to produce various cosmetic products. Therefore, the main and by-products of paddy are important raw materials for industries such as food, chemicals and medicine, and have great development potential.
